After ten thousand years of stalemated battles, the testing of the three hundred experts ended, and the top hundred were set to challenge the Infinite Mechanism in fifteen days.

While the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued the Chaos Pearl, Li Qing used the opening to kill Moruo True God and harvest resources, then completed the Dao-Extinguishing Sword. The Divine Kingdom forces formed defenses that ended his chance to hunt more True Gods, so Li Qing turned his attention to restoring the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.

• Li Qing's Present Body chose to remain hidden and wait, even if he had to hold out until the Infinite Mechanism was struck fifteen days later.
• The Silver Immortal King and Gray Mist Immortal King emerged from the Boundless Void Region and divided their tasks, with her heading toward the Void Black Hole and him toward the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing's Projection Motes detected the two Immortal Kings, and his Future Body began calculating their plans.

• Li Qing’s Present Body watched the True Martial Divine Lord’s battlefield while hiding his projection and waiting for a chance to strike.

Li Qing assassinated the True Martial Divine Lord and absorbed his power, while the Supreme Heavenly Lord decided to launch a full-scale invasion to force the warring factions to unite against an outside enemy. The chapter ended with the Sacred Domain mobilizing for war in Forward Primordial Chaos.

• The Infinite Kingdoms destroyed the city’s national formation, and the True Martial Divine Lord fled with its defenders toward another city node.
• Li Qing killed the True Martial Divine Lord with the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, then escaped through the Infinite Mechanism network before his pursuers could stop him.
• Li Qing’s Future Body used the harvested essence to restore the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase to eighty-five percent and considered strengthening the mechanisms inside the Chaos Treasure Pearl.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord ordered the Sacred Domain’s Heavenly Sovereigns to begin a full-scale offensive into Forward Primordial Chaos.

The Anti-Primordial Chaos launched a full-scale invasion, forcing the warring factions of the Unique Universe to declare a ceasefire and send their strongest fighters to the Land of Ashes. The Seven Supremes agreed to leave the Unique Universe battlefield to lower-level cultivators while planning to prevent Li Qing from advancing his power and to conceal the deaths of seven chosen fighters.

• The Anti-Primordial Chaos forces broke through the Primordial Chaos boundary and the Hazy Domain, prompting the Unique Universe to issue a warning.
• Li Qing learned that the Infinite Kingdoms had ordered a ceasefire, and he recognized that the invasion had disrupted his plans.
• Daoist Boundless called for the factions to unite against the invasion, while Tianyuan Daoist proposed sending all experts above the surface logic layer to the Land of Ashes.
• Great Vow Daoist and Nirvana Buddha Lord concluded that the Supreme Heavenly Lord had launched the invasion to draw Dao-transmitting powerhouses away and stop Li Qing from gathering the resources to advance.
• The Seven Supremes agreed to block Li Qing's progress and let lower-level cultivators fight in the Unique Universe, while making the deaths of seven chosen fighters appear natural.
• The Infinite Kingdoms and six great factions mobilized their powerhouses above surface logic and sent them to both Land of Ashes battlefields.

As the seven Supremes and the Infinite Mechanism mighty ones fought across the Land of Ashes, Li Qing abandoned his plan to gather resources and took command of the armies in the Unique Universe. His precise control gave the Infinite Kingdoms an advantage, prompting the seven supreme beings to counter with their own deductions as the slaughter intensified.

• The seven Supremes and the Infinite Mechanism mighty ones sealed off the Land of Ashes and clashed with the Supreme Heavenly Lord's power and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing concluded that he could not collect the Infinite Mechanism imprints needed to repair the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase until his six incarnations broke through the Infinite Mechanism.

• The Infinite Kingdoms exposed the six great powers' weaknesses and drove their armies back, drawing the attention of the seven supreme beings.
• The seven supreme beings began directing the six great powers' armies, setting off a contest of deduction against Li Qing as the fighting grew more brutal.

Li Qing and the other powers prepared to launch breakthroughs to the Infinite Mechanism as the Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion intensified. Meanwhile, the Seven Supremes secretly set up a backup plan in the Land of Ashes, beyond Li Qing’s notice.

• Li Qing warned the Supremes and Infinite Mechanism powers that the invasion would overwhelm them once the Supreme Cataclysm began, and Great Vow Daoist agreed to resume the breakthrough plan in two days.
• Dream Without Trace’s selected cultivators gathered at protected sites in the Unique Universe and Primordial Universe, with more than a hundred reserves ready to replace anyone who died during the breakthroughs.
• Li Qing watched the preparations and considered how to protect his Way of Civilization’s chance to break through.
• Great Vow Daoist and the other Supremes secretly used naturally dispersed auras to create lifeless projections of seven backup cultivators, evading Li Qing’s detection.
• The Seven Supremes concentrated their power in the Land of Ashes and sent their chosen targets to attack Divine Kingdoms and Sacred Domains, turning the area into an information blind spot for Li Qing.

The Gray Mist Immortal King investigated Li Qing’s power and judged him a valuable potential ally, then joined the other four Supreme Mechanism-fused Immortal Kings to discuss the dangers facing them. The kings debated cooperating with Li Qing, but the Silver Immortal King warned that his history made him a perilous partner.

• The seven Supremes realized Li Qing’s Root Jade Disc could not penetrate their isolated space, while Li Qing noticed an information black hole around the Land of Ashes and increased his surveillance.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King secretly entered the Unique Universe with an avatar and verified Li Qing’s abilities, concluding that his power and plans made him worthy of friendship.
• After the Silver Immortal King reported finding the other three Supreme Mechanism-fused experts, the Gray Mist Immortal King used their communication pearl to gather all five.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King shared information about the current era, and the Immortal Kings recognized Li Qing’s strength and the threat posed by the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the coming calamities.
• The Black-Pupil Immortal King urged them to cooperate with Li Qing to gather information, but the Silver Immortal King warned that Li Qing had ruined many former allies.

Li Qing proposed that the five Immortal Kings cooperate with him to test whether they could challenge the Supreme Heavenly Lord and discover the limits of his power. The Immortal Kings considered his risky plans and leaned toward trying the first attempt.

• The five Immortal Kings agreed to cooperate with Li Qing while remaining wary of him.
• Li Qing told the Immortal Kings that their shared goals included delaying the Immeasurable Final Calamity, then proposed gathering their forces to test the Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• Li Qing's first plan was to have the Seven Supremes suppress Heavenly Lords while the Immortal Kings secretly helped, then attack if the Supreme Heavenly Lord descended.
• Li Qing offered a fallback plan: if the attack failed, the Immortal Kings would strike the Seven Supremes when they were vulnerable during the Supreme Cataclysm.
• The Silver Immortal King doubted the plan's chances, but the Gray Mist Immortal King argued that it could create an unprecedented opportunity, and the five considered trying it.

The Five Immortal Kings agreed to cooperate with Li Qing, but secretly sealed their plot to seize the treasure they believed held the key to their cultivation. As Calamity Qi gathered around the Unique Universe and the Primordial Universe, Li Qing began the attempt at the Infinite Mechanism while preparing for opposition from the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Kings.

• The Five Immortal Kings agreed to Li Qing’s proposal, and the Purple Qi Immortal King concluded that Li Qing’s treasure might contain the fused Supreme Mechanism they needed.
• The Five Immortal Kings secretly created a sealed space to hide their plans and memories from Li Qing’s information-gathering power.
• Li Qing sensed a growing information void around the Five Immortal Kings and warned the Unique Universe’s powerful figures to summon their power if the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation appeared.
• As Calamity Qi gathered, one hundred powerful figures prepared to cross their tribulations under the watch of the Seven Supremes and Infinite-level experts.
• Li Qing signaled the start of the attempt, and Daoist Purple Gold Li Qing sent his perfected Dao surging into Primordial Chaos.

As the Infinite Calamity struck experts crossing tribulation, the Seven Supremes secretly arranged for seven battlefield deaths to hide their plans from Li Qing. The chosen experts were reborn in projections and learned they would attempt to gain Infinite Mechanism, leaving the Unique Universe’s conspiracy underway.

• Calamity Qi battered the perfected Daos of experts undergoing tribulation and ignited a terrifying fire as karma spread through Primordial Chaos.
• The Flame Crown Prince and six other leaders were overwhelmed by True God opponents at the border of the Land of Ashes and detonated themselves, transferring their power and traces of Infinite Mechanism through believers’ Dao networks.
• The Supreme Mechanism secretly carried the seven experts’ wills and traces into the Seven Supremes’ isolated space while Li Qing noticed their deaths and began examining them.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor told the seven that their deaths had concealed the plan from Li Qing and tested whether any of them were his agents.
• The Seven Supremes began restoring the seven experts’ perfected Daos so they could attempt to obtain Infinite Mechanism.

The Seven Supremes concealed the Flame Crown Prince and six others as they began the Infinite Tribulation, while Li Qing's Past Body deduced that the seven had vanished into a hidden place. As Li Qing watched the first tribulation stage through his avatars, the Seven Supremes prepared for the second stage.

• The Seven Supremes restored the Flame Crown Prince and the other six to their peak and concealed their Tribulation Crossing inside an isolated space.
• Li Qing's Past Body noticed that the seven had not revived and deduced that their root wills had disappeared into the Land of Ashes or another unprobeable place.
• Li Qing's six avatars endured the Calamity Fire, repairing weak points in their Great Daos while other tribulation-crossers began to fail.
• Li Qing secretly used his avatars' root consciousnesses to observe the Tribulation Crossing site and gather information for the Civilization Information Essence and Jade Tablet.
• The Seven Supremes detected Li Qing's probing, but the Nirvana Buddha Lord said the seven had repaired their Great Daos and the next stage was beginning.
• A vast power descended from Primordial Chaos and engulfed both Tribulation Crossing sites, with more power flowing toward the Unique Universe.

Li Qing discovered that the seven supremes were secretly helping seven people undergo tribulation and planned a surprise attack to stop them. He and the other mighty beings prepared to strike after the first hundred candidates completed their breakthroughs, while the seven supremes continued guiding Flame Crown Prince and the others.

• Li Qing realized that the seven supremes had secretly brought seven additional people into their isolated spaces to create more Infinite Mechanism mighty beings.
• Li Qing warned the mighty beings in the Barren Mountain isolated space, and they agreed to pool their power for a surprise attack using his Dao-Extinguishing Sword.
• Li Qing connected their power to the sword through his Fate Wheel and Network, then planned to attack when the first hundred candidates had completed their tribulations.
• Great Vow Daoist told the seven supremes that their information-isolation plan seemed undetected and urged them to help Flame Crown Prince and the others reconstruct their Principles.

Li Qing learned that cultivating Infinite Mechanism required the Great Dao, its refined Principles, and fundamental consciousness to endure and fuse with Primordial Chaos’s rhythm. As the Tribulation Crossing continued to claim lives, Li Qing’s Future Body considered using unexplorable regions of Primordial Chaos to escape the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s pursuit.

• Li Qing’s Past Body gathered information and revealed how Infinite Mechanism formed through the fusion of a cultivator’s Great Dao, Principle structure, and fundamental consciousness.
• Li Qing resolved to strike at the seven supreme isolated spaces once his six incarnations cultivated Infinite Mechanism.
• Flame Crown Prince and the other six supremes completed their Great Dao reconstruction, extinguished their Calamity Fire, and began enduring Primordial Chaos’s resonant pressure.
• Tribulation Crossing cultivators continued to die as their Great Daos and consciousnesses failed to withstand the resonance, while new batches entered to replace them.
• Li Qing’s Future Body concluded that it might escape the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s pursuit only by entering regions of Primordial Chaos that even he could not explore.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord decided that the growing ranks of Infinite Mechanism powers threatened his control, so he triggered the Supreme Cataclysm ahead of time. His full Reverse Ultimate Mechanism power invaded Forward Primordial Chaos, breaching its defenses and plunging multiple battlefields into chaos.

• Li Qing's Future Body considered using the untraceable lands to escape the Supreme Heavenly Lord's pursuit of the Chaos Pearl's power.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord weighed the risks of allowing Infinite Mechanism powers to multiply and concluded that he could not let them gain strength to oppose him.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord ordered the Supreme Cataclysm to begin early, then his true body unleashed the full power of the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism.
• The Reverse Ultimate Mechanism and Anti-Primordial Chaos power tore through the Forward Primordial Chaos defensive network, allowing Divine Kingdoms and True Gods to break through.
• The invading forces clashed with Forward Primordial Chaos powerhouses in the Hazy Domain and Land of Ashes as the defensive lines fractured and the invasion continued.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord launched a full-scale invasion, accelerating the Supreme Cataclysm and disrupting the Infinite Mechanism Networks. Li Qing and the Seven Supremes assessed the threat as the Infinite Kingdoms prepared to abandon their campaign and choose how to survive the coming calamities.

• The Forward Primordial Chaos resisted the Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion as calamities on both sides erupted and the Infinite Mechanism Networks began contracting.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord breached the defenses and waited for Li Qing to appear so he could destroy him and the cultivators undergoing Tribulation Crossing.
• The Seven Supremes debated the dangers of the contracting Network, the invading Anti-Primordial Chaos army, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• Li Qing warned the cultivators in Barren Mountain that the Supreme Heavenly Lord intended to kill them and was gathering strength for a single devastating attack.
• Li Qing's Past Body predicted that the Networks would recede within a hundred years and ordered the Infinite Kingdoms to evacuate resources, withdraw from the borders, and prepare for defense.
• Li Qing's Past Body presented two survival options: flee through Primordial Chaos or cooperate with the Unique Universe against the invading armies.

Li Qing proposed fallback plans as the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s early invasion overwhelmed Forward Primordial Chaos, and the five Immortal Kings prepared to prey on those attempting breakthroughs. With the Infinite Mechanism network shrinking and battles worsening, Li Qing urged the great powers to create spacetime passages so the tribulation crossers could scatter if attacked.

• Li Qing presented three plans, and Tianyuan Daoist chose to pursue the second before resorting to the third, prioritizing survival.
• Li Qing advised scattering everyone undergoing Tribulation Crossing through spacetime passages if the Supreme Heavenly Lord attacked.
• The five Immortal Kings agreed to seize Tribulation Crossing sites and steal the breakthroughs’ fruits, dividing their forces between the Unique Universe and the Primordial Universe.
• Li Qing’s Past Body replenished the Projection Motes as the Infinite Mechanism network shrank and enemy forces breached defenses across both battlefields.
• Li Qing warned the great powers and the Seven Supremes that the Supreme Heavenly Lord was preparing a killing blow and asked them to create spacetime passages at the Tribulation Crossing sites.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord attacked those crossing their Tribulations, scattering them across the two universes and disrupting the Seven Supremes’ plan. As the Five Immortal Kings seized the chance to strike at several targets, Li Qing realized one of them was Daoist Purple Gold Li Qing, one of his incarnations.

• The Seven Supremes and Infinite Mechanism wielders created spatial passageways so those crossing their Tribulations could scatter and evade the Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• Li Qing’s Past Body planned to use the chaos of the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attack to pierce the Seven Supremes’ isolated space and kill the seven beings crossing their Tribulations.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord fired two immense attacks that split into golden rays, striking fifty of the fleeing figures; five later failed their transformations and exploded.
• True gods and Heavenly Sovereigns entered the Hazy Domain as factions and Infinite Mechanism wielders fought them, throwing the two universes into chaos.
• The Five Immortal Kings agreed to capture people in the second stage of their Tribulations and attacked five targets across the two universes.
• Li Qing detected the Five Immortal Kings’ attacks and realized that the Silver Immortal King had targeted Daoist Purple Gold Li Qing, one of his six incarnations.

Li Qing led a strike that disrupted the Reverse Supreme Mechanisms’ attack and then used the opportunity to destroy the Seven Supremes’ hidden backup plan. The Seven Supremes’ isolated space was breached, and Flame Crown Prince and the other six were killed while undergoing tribulation.

• Li Qing struck the Silver Immortal King with the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, buying Daoist Purple Gold Li Qing time to escape.
• Li Qing warned the Supreme Mechanism and Infinite Mechanism powers that five Reverse Supreme Mechanism beings were targeting those undergoing Tribulation Crossing.
• The five Fusion Supreme Mechanisms captured five tribulation crossers and broke through the pursuing forces, while True Gods, Divine Kingdoms, and Celestial Sovereigns attacked the remaining seventy.
• Li Qing told the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures that the Seven Supremes’ hidden tribulation crossers were still safe and gathered their power for a strike.
• Li Qing’s sword pierced the isolated space where Flame Crown Prince and the other six were undergoing tribulation, killing all seven.

Li Qing’s attack on the Seven Supremes’ hidden tribulation space was interrupted by the Supreme Heavenly Lord, preventing him from claiming the dead Supremes’ resources. As five wielders of the Fusion Supreme Mechanism neared escape and the remaining tribulation candidates faced danger, Li Qing proposed emergency defenses and a temporary alliance.

• Li Qing’s Dao-Extinguishing Sword pierced the Seven Supremes’ defenses, but the Supreme Heavenly Lord destroyed its projection before Li Qing could take the resources left by the seven dead.
• Tianyuan Daoist and the Supreme True Demon concluded that the Supreme Heavenly Lord had cut Li Qing off from resources in the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing confronted the Seven Supremes, defended his attack, and warned that five wielders of the Fusion Supreme Mechanism were about to leave the two universes.
• Li Qing offered to contact the five wielders about cooperating against the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion.
• Li Qing urged the great powers to resist the invasion, intercept the True Gods harassing tribulation candidates, halt all wars, and link the kingdom formations for the seventy remaining candidates.

The Unique Universe and Primordial Universe stabilized their defenses against the full-scale invasion of Anti-Primordial Chaos, while the Supreme Cataclysm continued to advance. Li Qing failed to persuade the Five Immortal Kings to join the Seven Supremes against the Supreme Heavenly Lord, and his Fire Tree incarnation faced two approaching True Gods.

• The Seven Supremes and the wielders of the Infinite Mechanism unified the national arrays and battle formations to hold back the Heavenly Sovereigns and Anti-Primordial Chaos.
• The Five Immortal Kings returned to Primordial Chaos with five Tribulation Crossing cultivators imprisoned in wondrous spaces, and Li Qing questioned their attack.
• Li Qing told the Five Immortal Kings that the Seven Supremes wanted to test the Supreme Heavenly Lord's power, but the Gray Mist Immortal King refused to act until most of the Heavenly Sovereigns were eliminated.
• The Five Immortal Kings secretly agreed to capture up to twenty Heavenly Sovereigns while hoping the rest would challenge the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism.
• Li Qing's six incarnations defended cities in the Unique Universe as hundreds of True Gods attacked the preachers' formations, and two True Gods raced toward Fire Tree Daoist Li Qing.

Fire Tree Daoist Li Qing defended his breakthrough from Extinction True God while Mystic Sword Daoist intervened, giving the six major incarnations time to complete the Infinite Mechanism. Li Qing’s Past Body watched for attacks as the breakthrough neared its most vulnerable moment.

• Extinction True God attacked Li Qing, but the National Array blocked his first strike.
• Li Qing linked his Divine Flame Treasure Banner to the National Array and used it to withstand Extinction True God’s assault.
• Mystic Sword Daoist arrived and fought Extinction True God, preventing him from attacking Li Qing again.
• Li Qing resumed sublimating his Great Dao as his Fire Tree phantom began merging into it.
• Li Qing’s other five major incarnations also neared completion of the Infinite Mechanism, while his Past Body monitored the surrounding enemies for an attack during their vulnerable transition.

Li Qing prepared hidden escape routes and backup powers for the six incarnations as they neared their merger with the Infinite Mechanism. When ten Heavenly Lords launched a surprise attack on the tribulation-crossers, the five Immortal Kings intervened and captured all ten, leaving Li Qing wary of their overwhelming strength.

• Li Qing used the Fate Wheel and Dao-Extinguishing Sword to prepare six hidden passages into the Endless Death Abyss for the incarnations.
• Ten Heavenly Sovereigns charged from the Land of Ashes toward the ten tribulation-crossers, putting Fire Tree Daoist and Daoist Purple Gold in danger.
• The five Immortal Kings unleashed their fused Supreme Mechanisms and suppressed five of the attackers before they could resist.
• The remaining five Heavenly Lords fled toward the Hazy Domain, but the Immortal Kings sealed space-time and captured them as well.
• Li Qing's Past Body observed the Immortal Kings' methods and regarded them with grave caution.
